I recently purchased a jar of this product believing it to be 100% Australian family owned but in small print on a separate part of the jar it claimed to use at least 40% Australian honey. I find this very unsatisfactory as our pure Australian honey is being topped with honey from who knows where. Our Australian bees are free of diseases that are common in many countries. I find this very misleading and have returned the unopened jar to my local Woolworths. I am a loyal Woolworths customer and would appreciate your reply on this matter. Regards Dianne Morgan
I an in agreement & have the same opinion the above coment.
This is undoubtedly the worst honey I have ever purchased, a disgrace to what was once known as the nectar of the gods.
It tastes like golden syrup with a honey label on it, no subtle floral notes or any of the other flavours I associate with honey, aside from the flavour of sugar. If I wanted to put sugar syrup on my oats I would have bought some cheap golden syrup, or just boiled some sugar in water. Waste of money. I intend to give away the rest of my 700g jar, as I cannot subject myself to eating this on a daily basis for weeks on end.
Woolworths, I see no reason as to why this product is stocked on your shelves. It doesn't support Australian produce, tastes terrible and it isn't even the cheapest honey on the shelf. What consumer need does this serve?
It’s 60% glucose syrup, not real 100% honey. Disgraceful
How do you know? I’m genuinely interested.
Hello Ebanzer, How did you know the glucose content? I am unable to find verified percentages...on their bottle it says 100% honey?
It tastes like sugar syrup. I don't know why Woolworth still keeps on their shelves.
Recently bought this product. Took one spoonful, the taste immediately reminded me of burnt sugar/molasses. Checked out the fine print on the label, 80% imported "honey", most definitely NOT honey (even the consistency is more like molasses than honey). Took it straight back to Woolies and got a refund. Will not be going anywhere near this brand again.
Buy Australian honey. We must support our economy. Woolworths will not hv my support.
Well... After seeing all the complaints in regard to this Gardener brand honey, I can only say that I really enjoyed it and I really liked the flavor of it, whereas some other honeys can be quite bland.
So sorry to say that I do not share the opinions expressed by the other people on this site.
However I do believe that every product should clearly state the origin of the product and if it is a percentage it still should state it on the label and also state if the product is pure in content, in this case..."Pure Honey",
Not just... "Imported".
I have tried most brands of honey from the supermarkets and i have to say i am addicted to the Gardener Mixed Blossom Honey...and now i can't find it anywhere.
A few years ago i started using half sugar and half Gardener Mixed Blossom Honey in my coffee.
It is transcended into the most unbelievable experience...2 cups go down with breakfast, the first almost sculled.
Maybe it depends on the coffee as well, Cafe Aurora Italian blend...but no other honey cuts it...and believe me I've tried. ...i also baked a lot with the mixed blossom honey, and i guess thanks to these complaints, i can no longer find it anywhere. ...Pity it's not all Aussie honey, but I'm not sure i care.
Nothing seems to be able to replace it for my taste.
I use to buy it by the tub.
Sad i may never have the experience again.
Actually it's a Minnesota USA company and the honey sold in woolies has only 20% Australian honey in it..slow clapping woolies for supporting the Americans before the Aussie farmers,,,hyprocites
You are confusing it with the Gardener brand. This product I don't believe is 100% honey as it doesn't crystallise on my cool counter in Tasmania, plus it reports only 10% Australian content. Dressed in gold and green and packed in South Australia had me fooled. The regular Tasmanian honey I normally buy tastes like honey and crystallises over time. This has been on my counter for 6 months+ now because we just rarely use it. Normal honey next to it...
